All of Pleasant Valley seems to think the newcomer from Lancaster County
is the perfect match for Teacher Leah. After all, so few new families
come to their secluded Amish community, and fewer still unmarried men.
That Daniel Glick is a widower with three young children to look after
while he manages his farm should make him even more open to the idea of
marriage. But Daniel's past haunts him at every turn. Though he cannot
miss the beauty in Leah's bright eyes and patient ways, he also sees a
reminder of the pain he came so far to escape. And Leah has a burden on
her heart that could daunt even someone as strong and steady as Daniel.
Years ago she was engaged to Johnny Kile, a young man who became swept
up in the outside world, leaving her behind, alone and heartbroken.
Since then she has immersed herself in her love of the children she
teaches, forgetting any hopes of having her own family. When Johnny
returns, seeking reconciliation, Leah suddenly must decide between two
pathways, either of which will change her life forever...
